Abstract

This chapter investigates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in preservice teacher education, with a specific focus on Elementary English Language Arts (ELA). It explores how AI tools can be used to support preservice teachers (PSTs) to create effective lesson plans, develop engaging instructional resources, differentiate instruction, and promote active student participation. The chapter explores tools like ChatGPT, MagicSchool.ai, Brisk, Perplexity, Canva, Diffit, and Curipod and illustrates how they can be used responsibly and effectively, offering valuable insights for educators seeking to integrate AI into teacher preparation programs. The chapter concludes with an overview of PSTs' perspectives on AI, addressing perceived benefits, limitations, and ethical considerations in educational settings, as well as offering a glimpse into the next steps of AI in teacher education.
